The white Sigma Alpha Epsilon frat boys were never, of course, going to actually hang someone from a tree—that was a joke, and the last actual lynching in the US was in 1964, according to the Tuskegee Institute. But a branch of Phi Beta Sigma, the “traditionally black” frat that was “shocked, but not surprised”, killed a young man at Prairie View, TX in 2009.
The same fraternity has been involved in other serious beatings—one man was beaten with paddles until he was soaked with blood and his kidneys failed.
